Ballet Nouveau Colorado
Announces its 2009-10 Season
After another successful season under the direction of artistic leaders Garrett Ammon and Dawn
Fay – and being named Dance Magazine’s 2009 “25 to Watch” – Ballet Nouveau Colorado is ready
stir the waters once more. With an action packed 2009-10 Season, the company will once again
wow audiences with innovation, depth, and passion. This is another season not to be missed!
Highlights of BNC in 2009-10
• Our first performance of the year, POP., features the winner of the 2009 21st Century
Choreography Competition Joshua Blake Carter and 2008 Choreography Competition
finalist Alex Ketley. We are very excited to work with them again.
• We will premiere our first full-length ballet in two years. After a successful partnership in
2008 with Lighthouse Writers’ Workshop, Artistic Director of BNC Garrett Ammon and
Executive Director of Lighthouse Michael J. Henry will collaborate once again to create an
evening-long ballet. Intersection is about the complexities of how our lives intertwine
and collide.
• We are delighted to welcome world-renowned choreographer Lauri Stallings as a guest
choreographer for Somewhere American, vol. 1, opening April 16. Stallings has previously
choreographed on Atlanta Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. Stallings is also the recipient
of the prestigious Prix Benois de la Danse 2009, one of the highest honors in the dance
world.
• All but one of BNC’s company dancers are returning for the 2009-10 Season. Four-year
company member Laura Guerra is relocating to Nashville, TN to be married – she will
continue dancing in Tennessee with the Nashville Ballet. We are excited to add Damien
Patterson to our roster. Damien has previously danced with Ballet Memphis and Cleo
Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble. Our roster will now be made up of six men and six
women.
